Topic: Song I wrote called Her Voice Again

Wrote it for the SOTM - but thought I'd post here as well

Her Voice Again by Jim Kenyon


.


Verse 1


.




[G]I went down to the river, I was feeling kinda down


I [C] couldn’t find no friends, there was, [G]no one around


[G]tried to think of something happy, but nothing came to mind


Then [D] I thought I heard a familiar voice,[C] coming from be[G]hind


.


Verse 2




[G]That voice always was and still is, my favorite sound to hear


Sounds [C]just like an angel, whispering [G]so softly in my ear


[G]But when I turned to see her face, ya’ know she wasn’t there


So [D]I closed my eyes and I saw her, with[C] flowers in her[G] hair




.




Chorus


.




She was saying…


[C]Always remember the sunshine, it will [G]greet you every day



[C]keep a song in your heart, it’ll [G]keep your troubles away


[C]know that through love, you can do [G]anything you try


So [D] take a leap of faith, and don’t let[C] life pass you[G] by




.


Verse 3


.




[G]I was close to bein’ broke, but thought I was just bein' free


Spent [C]my time hoping things could be the [G] way it used to be


[G]torn apart by a broken heart, a pain that can make you cry


Then [D] I hear her voice saying once again, [C]give love another [G] try


.


chorus


.




She was saying…


[C]Always remember the sunshine, it will [G]greet you every day


[C]keep a song in your heart, it’ll [G]keep your troubles away


[C]know that through love, you can do [G]anything you try


So [D] take a leap of faith, and don’t let[C] life pass you [G] by

Re: Song I wrote called Her Voice Again

You certainly have a way with words Jim. I like the way the second verse isn't just a continuation of the first without losing the basis of the song.
Nice one .     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Jeff
Thank you for those kind words.

Phill

Thank you also - I tried to make that song leave a little mystery as to who the woman is he is referring to.

I wish I had as much musical talent as you have in your left pinkey - its 50x more than i now have.  smile


It's frustrating to be able to write, but not sing or play well enough to do justice to the  lyrics.

Oh well, I enjoyed the writing part enough to keep on keeping on !


Thanks again

Jim

That  is  brilliant  Jim   I've  played  it  through  twice . It  reminds me  of  Kris  Kristoferson at  his  best well done

Wow- thanks !

If you play it through  a third time I'd love to hear your rendition.

Thanks again for the kind words.
